It is Saturday afternoon & there is a light shower outside. A perfect afternoon to laze around, eat & enjoy my time at home watching TV or DVDs. BUT can you believe it? I am stuck in the office. Probably the only one in the entire office in St James right now beside the receptionist. KAOZ!

My Boss asked me to come back & help for a VERY IMPORTANT function since they are short-handed as there are 2 events going on tonight. I cant believe I actually said "yes". I dont know if it is a blessing or a curse. When I first come in, my boss never give me face at all cos im just an intern so she doesnt really give me any impt to handle as she is afraid i will screw it up. Now things have changed. She told everyone in my dept not to give me anything to do cos she has work for me. I feel like I am some sort of her PA. She expects me to know what is blardy up in her mind whenever she twitch her eyebrow. WTF?! Thank god! I have a very good training under my dad so handling my boss is peanut compared to my unreasonable & demanding dad.

I have also realized that that day my boss screamed at me is not even considered scolding cos she is super fierce to my colleagues. She scolds like nobody business and everyone feels so depressed working for her. I could see she favours me so much it is kinda getting me into trouble with my colleagues. I think I am like the most irritating girl in the dept now as I have to constantly pester people to get their work done since my boss says in front of everyone "meimei, can you make sure these people get their stuff done by today". I am stepping on people's toes already man. Sia la! Leave me out of office politics man. I just wanna do my job & stay out of trouble.

Also she brings me to every meeting with clients and I am included in all her email thread when my colleagues are being left out of it & poor thing they dont know what is going on when they are supposed to be in charge of drawing up contracts. SIGH! I realized the real working world is complex as it is and you really gotta watch your every step. Now all the important events that my boss is in charge, she asked me to co-handle with her. Cos she is the boss so she handles the big account & the VIP events. Owell! alot to learn for me.
